15 New Papers: Scientists Abandoning Claims Of Dominant Man-Made Influence On Arctic Climate
By Kenneth Richard on 15. May 2017
Natural Forcing Of Arctic Climate
Increasingly Affirmed By Scientists
Gajewski, 2015
Three years ago a cogent paper was published in the prestigious scientific journal Nature that was surprisingly candid in its rejection of the position that the substantial warming and sea ice reduction in the Arctic occurring since the late 1970s should be predominantly attributed to anthropogenic forcing.
Dr. Quinhua Ding and 6 co-authors indicated in their paper that internal processes — natural variability associated with planetary waves and the North Atlantic Oscillation — are drivers of the recent Arctic warming and sea ice reduction, concluding that “a substantial portion of recent warming in the northeastern Canada and Greenland sector of the Arctic arises from unforced natural variability.”
